Investigation the Effect of Channel Spacing for Long Distance Communication

Abstract

<jats:p>In this paper, the impact of different channel spacing on proposed system setup is investigated for long distance communication. This wavelength division multiplexing (WDM), dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) and ultradense wavelength division multiplexing (UDWDM) is evaluated by considering the signal quality factor, bit error rate, optical gain, and received power for different signal input power and for distance. It is observed that at -5 dBm of signal input power the system covers 130 km with acceptable BER (10-8) and Q-factor (14dB).</jats:p>
